The U.S. Department of Agriculture in Food and Nutrition Service manages the Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP). Moreover, the local state government also handles the said program.
Each local state government has the power to create and set its own rules and regulations for D-SNAP in its respective area. However, it must be approved by the U.S. federal government. Individuals may visit their local government units to check the more specific details for D-SNAP in their respective areas.
The Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) serves as an extension of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). However, the main difference between the two is that D-SNAP acts when there’s a disaster within any part of the country.
On the other side, SNAP maintains its support for its eligible beneficiaries. Moreover, D-SNAP is temporary food assistance while SNAP assists over a long time.
On the other hand, D-SNAP also uses Electronic Benefits Transfer Cards for the distribution of its benefits. These cards can be used upon purchasing foods with authorized stores throughout the United States.
